January 22-November 23, 2019 -- The Copa Libertadores, South America’s premier club competition, kicks off, with 19 teams facing play-off rounds for the final four coveted places in this season’s group stage, which begins on March 5.

In a new format, Santiago, in Chile, will host the first single match final in the tournament’s history. Argentineans River Plate will enter the competition at the group states aiming to claim successive titles after victory over fierce rivals Boca Juniors in 2018 -- with the second leg of the final taking place in Madrid, after violent scenes marred the first leg in Buenos Aires.
